The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2025 Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, Business Class M2, Cascadia and Western Star 47X vehicles. The tie rod in the front axle may contain ball studs that have been incorrectly heat-treated, which can cause them to break, and result in tie rod failure. Tie rod failure can cause a loss of vehicle steering control and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 3,421 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain Thomas Built Buses 2024-2025 Saf-T-Liner C2 and Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley school buses. The ground cable for the air conditioning system may have been improperly installed and overheat. An overheated ground cable can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says 629 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain Thomas Built Buses 2025 Saf-T-Liner C2 transit buses. The ground cable for the air conditioning system may have been improperly installed and overheat. An overheated ground cable can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says 13 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Forest River is recalling certain 2025 Freelander motorhomes. The Federal Placard indicates 30 seat-belted positions in the rear, when the correct number of belted positions is 3. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other than Passenger Cars" and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Incorrect seating capacity information may lead to overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says 20 units are potentially affected by the recall.
- Jayco is recalling certain 2024-2025 Entegra Anthem, Aspire, Cornerstone, Reatta, and Reatta XL motorhomes. The battery cables may not be the correct size, in the correct location, or they may be improperly tightened, which can cause an electrical short or allow the cables to overheat. An electrical short or overheating of the battery cables increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says 125 units are potentially affected by the recall.
